Having an alter-ego is one thing, but I strongly suspect that he had at least one sock puppet here during the drama with HN [0]
* a brand new account suddenly appears, defending Marcan's behavior (the only comment/post ever of this account) with a very similar writing style
* Marcan immediately "notices" the new comment while doing "random search" (how ? he claims he doesn't browse HN, and even posted a screenshot of news.ycombinator.com being routed to 0.0.0.0 to block his own access to it the day before)
* Marcan highlights the comment in question on his media account [1], praising them "at least [this commenter] gets it"
Only circumstantial stuff, but sure smells very fishy to me.
I’ve been supporting Hector since week 1 of the Asahi project and I think it’s a shame he’s thrown in the towel but I can understand why.
I don’t know enough about kernel development to have an opinion about about the Kernel policy of “no aliases” for contributions.
I certainly don’t care that some people think it’s weird for a man to have a female alter ego.
Maybe those things matter to you.
